Aëyr — Free Holds
---

Aëyr caught the clothes and began sorting through them in her hands, letting those she determined to be of nonuse fall to the ground at her feet. Quickly swapping vestments on the spot—she had some light underclothes on underneath her protective leather gear for just such an occasion—she took on a new role. A roguish fighter she was no more, but instead some sort of shady trader.

On her legs she wore soft cotton-white pants ending shortly above her high ankles, choosing to rely on the thick pads of her feet as always to walk and run barefoot. For a shirt we wore a thin pinkish-beige buttonless blouse with loose sleeves—widening as they extended from her shoulders—along with a hood that, though now resting down around her neck, could be pulled up to cover her eyes in darkness. Her feet excepted, her blank black eyes were the most easily recognizable aspect of her race, and an extra precaution could prove useful in an escape. On top of this, she wore a dark leather sleeveless vest, unfastened. Not for protection, but rather to keep the loose fabric of the blouse from obstructing her movement or getting caught during a chase.

She tied the two poisoned daggers to each of her triceps with a pair of strong ribbons. Concealed by the loose fabric of her sleeves, she could also inconspicuously retrieve them by crossing her arms. As usual, she tied her sling around her waist, already designed to be disguised as a belt. She removed the sling-stones she kept strapped to her bracelets and poured them into two coin-purses she tied to the her belt at her right hip—though this might encourage petty theft, she expected her quick reflexes to be enough to catch any little miscreants in the act, and who would arrest a woman for carrying riverstones in her pocket anyways?

Tying the rest of her clothes into a bundle and inserting both her combat and sacrificial daggers, she set it down on the floor. She felt confident that she could blend in, and she was ready to fight.

Addressing Mikan, she finally asks her last question for the mission. "Once I strike Deimos and the fighting breaks out, be there a particular location we—" She motioned to designate the Queens Blades present and Mikan herself. "—should regroup?
